Sacramento, CA...Governor Gavin Newsom released the statement below after reports that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency tomorrow will announce plans to revoke aspects of a Clean Air Act waiver that has been used for years by California to set its own emissions standards. California’s Advanced Clean Cars rule requires automakers to produce cars that pollute less and emit fewer greenhouse gases through model year 2025. “California won’t ever wait for permission from Washington to protect the health and safety of children and families.

“While the White House has abdicated its responsibility to the rest of the world on cutting emissions and fighting global warming, California has stepped up. In July, we came to landmark voluntary agreements with four major automakers to reduce vehicle emissions and oppose Washington’s rollback of clean air standards. We are showing it can be done.

“The President could learn from California. Instead, reports today suggest that his Administration will act on a political vendetta by announcing they intend to end aspects of our clean car waiver. It’s a move that could have devastating consequences for our kids’ health and the air we breathe, if California were to roll over. But we will not – we will fight this latest attempt and defend our clean car standards. California, global markets, and Mother Nature will prevail.”

You should at least respect him for trying to limit the environmental damage that Trump and the greedy GOP have wrought. So much for “clean coal,” too - the workers that went back to the mines are on public assistance and waiting to get paid.

“California won’t ever wait for permission from Washington to protect the health and safety of children and families. Really?
But we Californian's give sanctuary to illegals and criminals, and don't tell the federal government when an illegal is ''released'' from prison so that person can be deported.
Remember Katie Steinle? An illegal killed her on what should of been a peaceful day in SF with her family. An illegal shot and killed her. He was arrested, an 8 time deported illegal held for trial, and SF said he was NOT GUILTY, and he walked a free MAN, illegally here to do more harm. He was not even charged with manslaughter or involuntary manslaughter. He said he ''found'' the stolen gun. What was he going to do with it? Shoot sea lions a federally protected mammal. Thank God the feds stepped in and arrested a FELON on gun charges.... Thank you Governor Newsom.
Governor Newsom, what are you doing about those thousands of homeless children living with their mom and dad on the streets of SF or LA? You're asking Trump to help, but what are you doing to for the health and safety of these children you speak so fondly of? ....Thank you Governor Newsom
1 in 5 kids go hungry in Calif. The number 1 county in the entire country is LA county 26% of the children go hungry, that was in 2013 where Calif had 6 counties in the entire nation in the top 15 counties of starving children.
Fact ''In California, 4,354,400 people are struggling with hunger - and of them 1,638,430 are children.'' ....Thank You Governor Newsom, you tax us to give illegals medical, housing, food and free education, let illegal criminals go free, and you don't help the homeless and don't help to feed our starving children. ...Thank you Governor Newsom, thank you, thank you and thank you.

PS Nice suit and tie too, when visiting SF and Nancy Pelosi watch where you step wouldn't want you to step in human excrement or on the fingers of a child sleeping in the streets.

You Libtards are always worried about "THE CHIDREN", so phony, there are so many children's issues in this state, probably the biggest is abortion used as birth control for irresponsible kids and adults! Gavin is worried about clean air when he can't even come up with a solution of pee and s hit on the streets of once great cities! This guy is going to be dealt with the Feds at some point! He is incompetent, and spends too much time on issues that solve nothing! If the people in his ex city really looked at the chaos he walks around they would be ready for anything but him!

ABORTION IS NOT A "CHILDREN ISSUE", IT IS A WOMAN'S "CHOICE ISSUE". YOU (MALE,MAN) NO MATTER HOW YOU TRY TO CONTROL WOMEN.
LIKE A TRUE CONSERVATIVE PRO LIFER YOU BRING RELIGION IN AS YOUR MIRALITY. BUT YOUR "MORAL-LESS COMPASS" SH!TS ON THE CHILDREN BORN INTO POVERTY. WHAT WAS THAT WORD YOU SQEEKED OUT "DARWINISM"? LOOKS LIKE YA GOT A SPLIT PERSONALITY...TRUMPTURD!

Looks like President Trump is winning again!!! The left is in a never-ending meltdown. It's amazing how the homeless are mostly in democratic run cities and since the policies are full of crap so are the streets.
